But I want the list of urgency=high packages to be generated and installed automatically. Even if I didn't want to do this automatically, apt-listchanges doesn't give me a way to tell apt to install just some of the proposed packages. This would be a great (orthogonal) feature, but would probably be tricky to implement. (I dare you to prove me wrong, though!) (I already use apt-listchanges, and am a big fan of it, by the way. Thanks for such a great tool.) Dan
